sorry to say ... but they are all runted and football shape .. :( :(

the 4th fish looks like cobalt and 5th looks like turq

[Proteus]

There eyes are awfully large for there body size...

have you had them long???

(just so you know, if they breed, being runts or stunted, it wont affect the wrigglers)

[Mattzilla]

i'd say the second las one is a cobalt blu and the last is a blue turq.

and very sorry to say that they are all very low quality fish. i hope you didn't pay too much for them.

remember that you can usually find a good source of quality discus from people on this forum.

Got them rather cheap...

They have always struggled to grow much ever since I got them about 3 moths ago.

They get fed 2 - 3 times a day with flake, mysis shrimp, brine shrimp and blood worms.

3/4 water change at least once a week.

[Proteus]

although not much can be done as to how they look now, but instead of doing a 3/4 water change once a week or so, do lots of small ones, like 2-3 buckets every second day... your fish will love you for it, and when you factor in how long it takes to do a big change, you may even save yourself some time...

plus, less chance of any major fluctuations in your water paremeters.
